After discontinuing Viibryd, has anyone noticed their hair NOT becoming thick again? I've been on 60 mg for about 8 months. My hair is now falling out by the handfuls.. I have an appointment to see my dr. next week but I'm terrified my hair won't grow back! Not to sound self centered or shallow but I adore my hair! Had I of known this was a side effect I'd never agreed to try this medication. I'm terrified, as I've already stated, but I am also angry that this information isn't given by drug reps who push these meds! I pay 277$ a month for this RX &amp; now have to worry about withdrawals, my hair possibly not growing back &amp; adjusting to a new medication. Any replies are welcome &amp; will be appreciated! - Filed in Viibryden-usCopyright 2019 MedsChat.com.

I&#8217;ve been literally trying to figure this out for some time now...I&#8217;m a 40 year old male that had very very minor hair thinning and it seemed like over the last 2 years that I&#8217;ve been on <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a> im losing my hair at a very fast pace. It&#8217;s alarming, it&#8217;s a shame because this med has definitely helped me to deal with very severe post concussion syndrome. Fast forward to 3 - 4 months ago I started using <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Rogaine/" target="_blank">rogaine</a> because hair loss IS NOT LISTED AS A SIDE EFFECT! It did help a little bit not much and now I&#8217;m only on 10 mgs (I used to take 40 mgs but very slowly tapered). When I started to go down to 5 mgs I noticed my <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Migraine-Tension-Headache/" target="_blank">migraines</a> were getting out of control. Not sure why it&#8217;s triggering <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Migraine-Tension-Headache/" target="_blank">migraines</a> once I get down to such a low dose. Maybe because I&#8217;ve been taking it for years?Thu, 7 Jun 2018 16:55:58 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_634926Terry Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_634926

I&#8217;m not joking. My hair is awful. It has to be from this medication. Two months after I started taking it my hair started to fall out. I need to ween off of it. How long does it take ?Tue, 27 Mar 2018 19:16:10 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_617717Terry Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_617717
Well, now for my latest installment on <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>. I continued taking <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> for about six months. At times I welcomed the good feelings I got from having the drug in my system. After awhile I started experiencing severe <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a>, sometimes panic attracts,. The pill was becoming way too activating for my system and I knew for my mental health I had to stop taking it. I had been taking <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a> 40 for years and felt I needed to go back on it again. I was much worried about the weaning off period from <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>. The first day I went from taking 40 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> to 20 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> and 20 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a>. Since I didn&#8217;t feel that I was experiencing great withdraw symptoms from stopping <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>, the second day I just took 40 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a> and did not take any <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>. I continued taking 49 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a> and 0 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> from then on. The only withdrawal symptoms from <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> were slight headache and a little tingling sensations. It has now been about five days off <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> and taking 40 <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a>. No more high <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a> or panic attacks. I&#8217;m back to feeling fantastic again. <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a> has been my wonder drug for years and I&#8217;m glad to be back on it. <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> caused me to experience har loss on the frontal scalp at first but it seemed to subside after awhile. Those afraid of bad withdraw symptoms coming off <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> I hope will learn from my withdraw symptoms. Maybe by going right back on <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Paxil/" target="_blank">Paxil</a> helped me. <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> is a great drug for some but it was not that great for me. Glad to be free of panic attacks and high <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a>.Thu, 18 Jan 2018 07:37:50 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_617654Bendy and Brittle Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_617654
I haven't noticed anything going on with my hair, but my nails have become ridiculously thin. They're so bad that they bend backward when I'm moving clothes from the washer to the dryer--just the amount of pressure becomes painful. I've been on <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> for about 9 months. Anyone experience the same or notice a difference with your nails in addition to your hair?Wed, 17 Jan 2018 23:56:28 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_604466So sad about my hair Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_604466

Hi I have always had thick curly hair for years . In the past year I noticed my hair is getting thinner and thinner . It's so bad now that I am scared to shower . Every time I wash my hair I have an enormous handful in the shower . I have half the amount of hair I use to . I didn't think that it could be the <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a> I've been on ft almost 2 years because it's not listed as a side effect . I love being on this medication but I can't lose anymore hair !!! Could this really be it ?Wed, 1 Nov 2017 18:26:28 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_602134Greg Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_602134
Hi all, <br/> <br/> I&#8217;m 24 years old. I started taking <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a> when I was 21/22. April 2017 I came off the <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a>. Over the summer 2017 I noticed many hairs growing in very fine, and increased shedding. I basically had a nervous meltdown because I was so scared of losing my hair. I am now back on the <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a> 40mg to control the <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a> that seemed to be associated with my hair loss. I have noticed that my hair is starting to grow back thicker now and the shedding is decreased about 2 months after being back on the medication. What has anyone else noticed? Did your hair grow back fine after coming off the <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">viibryd</a>?Mon, 23 Oct 2017 14:33:01 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_596399Carla Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_596399

I've been on <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> for 3 years. My hair over the last year or so has been falling out by the handful. I was so scared after reading other people's accounts of the same thing happening that I've been tapering over the last 9ish months.

Just as an aside, upon researching <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>, it does not list hair loss as a side effect. However, <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> in addition to affecting the reputable of serotonin, does affect another site in the brain in the same manner as the anti-<a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a> drug <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/BuSpar/" target="_blank">Buspar</a>, thus giving <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> an anti-<a href="https://www.medschat.com/Categories/Anxiety/" target="_blank">anxiety</a> effect. If you look at the side effects of <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/BuSpar/" target="_blank">Buspar</a>, you will notice that one of its side effects is hair loss.Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:59:24 GMThttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_589236Dbeeh Sayshttps://www.medschat.com/Discuss/viibryd-hair-loss-260275_s2.htm?utm_source=forums_posts&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS#r_589236

I have been taking <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a> for a couple months and have also noticed significant hair loss. This is the only different drug I've been taking so the cause and effect seems pretty obvious. I have ordered a hair growth supplement and may try that before I quit <a href="https://www.medschat.com/Drugs/Viibryd/" target="_blank">Viibryd</a>. Anybody have any thoughts about stopping the hair loss with a hair supplement?Sat, 3 Jun 2017 19:49:44 GMT
